The Illinois state budget is implemented annually for a fiscal term that runs from July 1 to June 30 of the following year.[1] The state budget is drafted by the governor.[2] The governor prepares suggestions for the amount of funds that will be appropriated to each department, provides estimates of the incoming revenue that will be derived from sources other than taxation and estimates the amount of revenue that must be raised through taxes.[2]

Illinois faced an $11.5 billion deficit.[4]

## Governor Quinn's proposed reforms[edit]

On March 18, 2009, Gov. Quinn gave a State of the Budget address before the Illinois legislature in which he presented his proposal to address the state deficit through a combination of spending cuts, ethics reforms and tax and fee increases.[3] According to the governor's 2010 Executive Budget Overview, the projected $11.6 billion deficit Illinois faced for 2009 and 2010 put Illinois just behind California and New York for having the largest deficit.[12]
